[Childcare] For 4-Year-Olds! Fun December Craft Ideas

tapestry

[Crafts] Recommended for the cold season! 3 winter craft ideas [Daycare/Kindergarten]

Let’s make a small, cute tapestry using cardboard and yarn.

Cut a piece of cardboard to your preferred size, then make slits all around the edges.

There’s no set number—add as many slits as you like.

Prepare several colors of yarn cut to suitable lengths, hook the yarn into a slit, and stretch it across to a slit on the opposite side.

By hooking the yarn randomly, you’ll create an interesting pattern.

Secure the yarn ends on the back with clear tape, and you’re done.

It looks cute hung directly on the wall, but if you set up a large Christmas tree on the wall, the tapestry makes an adorable ornament, too.

Snowy world of friendly penguins

Since when did they pick up “more or less”? Winter/February craft journal: “Friendly Penguins in a Snowy World” – for 4- and 5-year-olds [Nursery/Kindergarten]

This craft project builds a penguins’ icy world on colored construction paper.

You carefully fold the penguins step by step with origami, while, in contrast, you can enjoy a looser approach for the icebergs by tearing origami paper as you like and pasting the pieces together.

Penguins look even nicer when made with different-colored origami rather than all the same color.

For the icebergs, tear several colors of origami paper—such as blue and silver—by hand, and randomly paste down pieces of various sizes and shapes.

Add decorations like snowflakes, and you’ll have a friendly penguins’ icy world all finished.

A Christmas tree made with paper cutouts

[Kindergarten/Preschool] December Paper-Cutting Christmas Tree Art and Craft

Here, we’ll introduce a Christmas tree made with paper cutting.

It works well to draw cutting lines on a sheet of paper that has been folded in half ahead of time and have the children cut along them.

By cutting the folded paper and then unfolding it, they’ll discover the shapes that appear, which can be a fun surprise.

Let the kids draw whatever patterns they like for the decorations on the fir tree—this brings out their individuality.

Finally, stick a star on the top of the tree, add a gingerbread boy and a cake, and it’s complete.

Perfect for wall decorations too! A perfectly round snowman.

[Kindergartens/Daycare Centers] Perfect for Wall Decorations! December Round Snowman Craft

Let’s make an adorable, perfectly round snowman using paper plates and paper cups.

Cut a few centimeters off the bottom of a paper cup.

Glue the cut paper cup in the center of a paper plate, then cut a circle from white construction paper, draw the snowman’s face on it, and glue it on top of the paper cup.

Finish by attaching the snowman’s arms made from pipe cleaners and adding round stickers to the paper plate.

You’ll have a round, cute, and three-dimensional snowman that looks great as a wall decoration.

Decorate your wall with a lineup of unique snowmen, each with its own personality.

Snowflakes made with origami

[Origami/Craft] Snowflakes [Parent and Child / Can be made from ages 3–4]

Let’s make a fluffy, cute snowflake out of origami.

Although the finished piece looks very intricate and difficult, it’s surprisingly easy to make, so it’s a great craft for children old enough to use scissors.

Make six cuts in the origami paper, first sharpen the tip and glue it, then skip one section at a time, roll it, and glue each part together.

Flip the remaining sections to the back and glue them on the opposite side.

Make six identical pieces, then glue them together at the edges with the ends meeting in the center to finish.

If you use small origami paper, it makes a perfect ornament.
